Cud worth of South Londonderry, Daniel Kellogg of Westminster and Mark Ward of Putney, commissioners appointed by the county court to hear and report on the Maple street case, (lied their report at the county clerk's olllco Monday. It Is a lengthy but well written document, em bodying a complete history of the case and offering several suggestions for tho consid eration of tho court. In tho first few pages of tho report the commissioners state the main facts deduced at tho hear ing before them and continue: "From the nature nnd extent of the present travel and trunk' over tlm eaiterly part of Maple street we find that the public conveul 'nee and ne cessity require that the highway or street ! laid three rods wide from the westerly side of Pleas ant street, where It e.iti rs Maple street, to Canal street, and that at the Junction with the last named street It he made wider to the extent laid by the selectmen as set forth In the petition In this cause. ' ' Lands hint; at and about tho wes'erly terminus of Vaplestreet on tiark road have been laid out In building lots and two ots nlready sold, though i ot yet built upon. We llnd that the prospective and probable Krowth of that part of the village in buildings and population In the Immediate or near future will make it neces sary fur the public good and convenience to widen the street In that part and, tn cao the court hold inai such prospective anil prooaoie growiu can properly lie considered bv Us In determining the question of now widening the street, we find that said Maple street should tie made three rods wide irom its westerly terminus at Clark roau uusn to the westerly side or Pleasant street where it en ters Maple street In widening nnd altering said Manle street, should the court, u i on this report. order the same to be done for the whole length of the st reel or any part thereof, we llnd that lt should be laid on the location and course set forth In lh survey made by the selectmen as set forth In the petition In this cause. We have taken Into account the lienetlts to said petitioners, Annie Powers. Kdna Jotemns. fleorue 11 Clark and Charles W. Stewart from the widening at d altering the street. In event the court order the same so widened and altered, upon the facts found and reported herein, and find said petition ers should receive as damages the following sums which we award to them respectively, to wu: io Annie rowers ana tuna joietnps joinuy the sum of J30T; to George II. Clark, SlUO. and to Charles, W. Stewart nothing Ami in award ing the above sum to Oeorge II. Clark we fix the amount at the sum named whether the street be altered and widened for Its hole length or only from the westerly side of Pleasant street to Ca nal Btieet." The selectmen's award, from which the appeal was taken was: to Mrs. Powers and Countess de Joteuips jointly $300, to Mr. Clark ?12j and to Mr. Stewart nothing. This award Is reduced $18 by the commis sioners, which, naturally, Is satlsfylug to the selectmen, although it Is probable that another appeal will bo made. DOO" LANOLEY CONVICTED. A DISAPPOINTING FINISH. Tile Ilaskrt Hall C.ame Aenllist the Tlinnipsolivllle. Cnlitl., Team Eltrifl 111 a WrmiKle. The basket ball game WeJnesday night had a disappointing ending, and the spectators filed out of the armory reluctlantly, not knowing which team had won, while the players and otllcials were cbseted, attempting to explain plays nid rules. The visitors clearly outplajed the locals in the first half, the score standing C to 1. Ural tleboro's one score was made by Dunlevt, while Ilunstrow and Knsslev made baskets from field, and Hossl y and VV. Marlon each one from foul. Hossley's thro from field was a luckr play, the ball being tossed from the centre of the armory high Into air, but ft landed rquarely in the has ket Brattleboro went in In win in the second half, and when U minutes of the half had been ilayed the score was 8 to 7 in Thompsonvllle's avor. . llirton was knocked out for two or three minutes. After play was resumed Thompsonvl le made another basket from Held and ilrattleboro one from foul. With less than a minute more to play a misunderstanding took pl.ee over a call for time on Thompsonvllle's part, and Heferee Kstey ordered the game to proceed. The Thompsnnville men stopped plavlngand In the last 10 seconds the llrattletsiro players, unopo8ed, toeed the hall Into the bas ket twice. 1 line was called, with the score 12 to 10 In Bratlleboro's favor. A discussion over the point Involved satisfied most i f the players that time ought tn have been called, and the game was given to Thompsonvllle, the score being 18 to 8. Thompsonvl le has one of the hardest playing teams that ever visited Ilrattleboro, but not so scientific a one as Sprlnutleld Y. M. C. A. W. Barton, tbe Thomp-onvllle captain. Is a fine individual player, but he was unnecessarily rough, and fouls were called on him re peatedly. TlIOUPSONVIIXE. llHATTLEBORO. Smith centre Howe It.

Supply Company nf llrnt llflinro James Langley, alias "Doc" Langley, one of the most notorious confidence men In tho country, was convicted In the supe rior criminal court In Boston Saturday be fore Judge Wardwell on three counts for obtaining money under false pretences. He will bo sentenced later. Langley had ob tained f:!.")00 from James II. Clllturd, Lo throp Wilder and Charles II. Goodwin about a year ago In connection with tho National Contract it Supply company, of which I.augley claimed lobe vice-president and treasurer. Tho concern was to manu facture undertakers' supplies. It also had a burial contract scheme, whercuya person paid a small sum each month and provided for ills own burial. The company was or ganized under the laws of Vermont, and the letter heads stated that tho factory was In Brattleburo, but the concern has never done business here, although there were soma negotiations for thh lease and pur chase of the Centrevllle factory. Mr. Clifford paid $2.-00 and Messrs. Wilder ami Goodwin $500 each to Langley ami In return received shares of stocic In tho company. Clifford was to bo tho gen eral New England agent of the concern auJ Wilder was to have the Rhode Island agency and Goodwin was given all tho ter ritory north of the New York Central rail road. They learned, however, that they had been the victims of false representa tions on the part of Langley and look legal means to have him punished. Charges against him were brought in the Boston municipal court several weeks ago and a continuance of the case was granted. Meantime Langley left the state, hut was arrested at Hartford, Conn., and taken back to Boston. WEST DKATTLEBOllO. There was a large gathering of ladles with Mrs. Evans last Saturday to sew for the lire sufferers, and in the evening a sup per was provided, ftoni which quite a sum was realized.
